I ordered a YT with no other pre EMTB bike experience and this is why I bought the YT .
For me I came down to what I could pay, what I was willing to pay and what suited my needs . I have never flinched at dropping large sums on bikes .
I feel the Levo S works is probably the best EMTB on the market power, weight, performance , but for 20K AU I felt its over priced .
The DECOY top spec is 12K in AU so about 35% cheeper , so 8K available for any bike malfunction or shipping cost is a no brainer .
Sure the Levo has better range , more toque slight weight advantage but I don't think I need it . I felt the YT looked more capable for my riding needs . The YT offered a better spec for of things I like .
The Levo SL base looks like a dog and the weight and light trail spec looks a bit confused for power ,
But ultimately , the price and attitude of specialised dealer , the monopoly specialised tries to have really puts me off the brand .
I like free market capitalists so I like how YT drives down prices increase and my purchasing power.
